My response was:
var numWidth = parseInt("640px", 10);
My answer isn't accepted by code engine.
```<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>JavaScript Foundations: Parsing Numbers From Strings</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="core.css"> <script> var boxWidth = "640px"; var boxHeight = "480px";
var numWidth = parseInt("640px", 10);
</script>
</head> <body> <h1>JavaScript Foundations</h1> <h2>Parsing Numbers From Strings</h2> <script src="viewer.js"></script> </body> </html>```

21,956 PointsThis particular challenge is asking you to use the variable boxWidth that has the value of "640px" for the parseInt() method, not simply manually writing in the "640px" into the parseInt() method. So, var numWidth = parseInt(boxWidth, 10) would work.

7,667 PointsIts a string, the challenge asks you to use parseInt to extract the integer from the string.

7,667 PointsGood it worked. I tried it that way first, but used "" around the boxWidth variable so it wasn't passing.
